qudsiramiz 's review for:
A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership
by James Comey
Was an interesting book absolutely no doubt about it. Specially in this time of commotion when the whole country feels in a disarray and the the leadership has gone haywire, any book written by someone in as high a position as an FBI director is bound to write an interesting book. The veracity of the content is a completely different matter though. I am not saying that the author has lied or that he has tried to misled the general public. To be honest I don't think the author did either of those. But the fact remains that the book is biased. Probably not because the author wanted it to be so but because of our own inherent bias when we tell people our story. Those biases shape our perspective on events around us. More involved we are in the event more it gets distorted by our own personal bias. And that is something that I personally felt in the book.
As far as author's own integrity is concerned I think there are lots of things which corroborate to what he said about that. I was greatly in awe of him when I learned that it was him along with the DAG during that time who vehemently denied going against the law to have electronic surveillance of its citizens and stood up to the Bush administration.
Another interesting thing was learning how he has been involved in several important, some very important cases in the last three decades or so. Though when I stopped to think about it, that made sense since he is was the director of FBI and they wouldn't make someone a director of one of the most powerful organization of the country unless he/she has had a stellar career!
Was an interesting book, and definitely worth a read if for nothing then to understand the reasons for the fiasco that happened in relation to Clinton investigation in 2016 from his vantage point!
